Pleo Dinosaur Robot Could Be My New Link Ninja
I stumbled upon the coolest post today covering the top 8 consumer robots, and I was mesmorized by this Pleo Dinosaur robot. This robot, created by Ugobe, started by one of the creators of the Furby, is able to respond to so many things using their “sophisticated sensors” and camera, that it comes out pretty convincingly real.
After watching the video, I instantly went to Amazon.com and pre-ordered two (they aren’t cheap, $350 each, please note that I don’t care if you’d spend your money some other way, I’m a gadget/toy freak); one for me and one for a good friend of mine having a baby near Christmas. I figured, great gift for the baby (although they recommend ages 8 and higher, they’ll have to live dangerously and he’s a techy, so he’ll love it) and also great holiday gift for my two sons.
If you want to get seriously geeky (and I know you do), Ugobe is gonna make this open-source and will publish a developers kit, so you can tinker with the program and have him do all kinds of things.
Like SEO.
I will train Pleo (who I will rename “Giuseppe”) to accomplish SEO tasks and work his way up to creating Search engine strategies. I figure, there are now so many crappy search professionals out there that I KNOW I can create my own robotic version that will most likely do a better job.
